The library has 12 computers for student research use which are linked to the school intranet. These are available for word processing and internet searching.
Students may print their work in black and white using print credits (10c per page) which are purchased through the bursar. As students are inclined to be careless about printing we suggest you stipulate that final work be printed in 12 point Times New Roman or 10 point Ariel, with minimal use of fancy headings and borders. These expectations could save paper, ink and students’ print balances. In addition, it is suggested that if students must print web-pages, they be directed to the ‘print friendly’ command on a lot of web pages, or simply cut and paste only the relevant part of the website into a Word document.
To borrow a library computer, students will need to have a planner with them with their signed computer and internet use agreement. Students will then borrow the computer from the circulation desk and be allocated a computer by the teacher librarian. Students can also use computers if they do not have any overdue books and have current computer access privileges (i.e. they have not been banned for misuse of the computer). If they cannot comply with these requirements they will not be permitted to use the library computers. It is imperative that students abide by these requirements in order to minimise misuse of computers. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
While the teacher librarians can issue students with computer passwords if they have forgotten their current password, we do not encourage this and we would prefer it if teachers ensure students do not use this as an excuse to leave class repeatedly.
Photocopier & scanner
Both of these items are available for student use. Photocopy cards are to be purchased by students at the bursar’s office. The photocopier is compatible with teacher photocopy cards also. It prints both black & white (10c/A4 page) and colour ($1/A4 page). Please plan to use the library photocopy well in advance of class. Sending students to the library to ask the teacher librarian to photocopy for you is an inconvenience and should only be used as a last resort.
